Hoods Sarsaparilla

La 2
/" In the winter Of 1879 I was attacked Will,
Scrofula In one Of the most aggravating forms.
AT one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass Of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. It Is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, was worse than ever,
Finally, on the recommendation Of W.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, i was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have ali
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and

! 49,. = HOW TO CATCH EN-. 49,
! Mr.. x met Mr.. B on the road in
front Of my house few days ago and
asked him for some assistance at thresh-
ing. -,
''When will the machine be therep''''
inquired B. "Cant say exactly" re-
piled x. "Maybe tomorrow noon and
maybe not until some time next day;
depends on how they get along. But
when you hear long foot followed by
three short ones, and then another long
one, it will mean that the machine has
arrived at my house and you can come
on" san right" said B. laughing,
I'n be on hand like sore thumb"
That was a new idea to me, and I
think good one. To have a precon-
certed signal for calling the helpers at
threshing together saves a good deal
of hard riding, valuable time and worry.
The men can hold themselves in readi-
ness to appear whenever they hear the
signal.
AT daylight next morning the engine
went putting by, drawing the separa-
tor, straw-stacker and tank, and soon
after heard the signal ring out on the
morning air. All the helpers were
there on time, and the days work COM
menced without any apparent fuss or
hurry. That was in the yard. In the
house there was some turmoil. The
early and unexpected arrival of the
threshers had created some confusion
in the domestic machine, and things
were not moving as smoothly as they
might; and for good reason. Mrs. x
had only little girl to help her, and
consequently she had to, as she said,
'just fly around!"
About 10 o'clock saw her with the
girl and dog chasing chickens. The
thermometer stood at SO degrees in
the shade, and it was something more
in the sun, 50 I called to her to stop.
She was both hot and mad, and her
face was red as fire, but she halted a
moment to see what wanted.
"You'll kill yourself running about
hot day like this," said l.
"Well." she replied, II can't help it!
I've got to have some chickens for din
ner. The thresher came 80 early that
x didn't have time to catch them for
me-.
''Hold on moment" said I, ''let's
try my plan." went into the barn,
where I had noticed a roll of heavy
wire, and cut off piece about FIVE
feet long, and with the pincers quick

DEAR SIR-There is a spirit of IaWIess-

B. +. FauIkner's farm fence, near Fort
Graham.
G. f. Sensing's sixty-fve. acre farm
fence, also near Fort Grsham, was cut
between every post. Mr. Sensing is a very
poor man. He bought his land on
credit last fall, and mortgaged his only
work horse and milk COWS to buy wire TO
fence the same, and had from twenty-five
to thirty acres planted in cotton, and on
the night of april 20 the cowardly scouu-
drels cut his wire.

MORGAN, TEX. May l8.-The gang ofmen
who are engaged in widening the dumps
on the Santa Fe road, few miles from
own, were Mortified ON Monday morning
when they beheld Mrs. Mccarthy, the
wife of the foreman, chasing her little son
all around the camps, trying to Kill him
with q hatchet which she held in her hand.
The boy was too swift for her, and led in
the race until Mr.. Mccarthy reached the
camp and overpoWered the woman and
took the Ratchet from her. Mrs. McGar-
rity is another victim of the bottle. For
several months she has been drink
ing quite freely, sometimes re-
naming on a spree for days at q
time. At last the poor womsn's
reason is dethroned and she is a raving
maniac. She said that she was going to
kill every man in the camps unless they
left there instantly. She was very hard
to manage, and it was only under
promise of getting the officers to come
out and run the men out of camps that
her husband finally persuaded her to &C
company him to Meridian late in the
evening, where he had her placed in jail
for few days, when she will be tried,
and it is thought sent to the asylum.
This is indeed a sad case. One Of
Mr.. McGarrity's hands stated to THE GA
ZETTE reporter that Mrs. Mccarthy,
when sober, was one of the kindest of
mothers and good wife, but when she
got under the influence of whisky she
seemed to forget all about home duties,
and thought of nothing only how to get
the next drink. Mr.. Mccarthy is nice,
honest and industrious gentleman, and
during the few weeks he has been IN this
locality has made number of
friends, sll of whom sympathize with him
in this misfortune.
The courthouse trouble Is virtually
settled. The Commissioners court ct
their meeting yesterday agreed with Con-
tractor Loonie to leave the matter to ar
bitration. The county will select one
man and Loonie one, and the decision OF
these two will be abided by. In case
they fail to agree third party
will be called in aud his
voice will settle all disputes
between Bosque county and Contractor
Loonie, who has just completed the new
courthouse st Meridian. County Judge
Barry and Commissioner Walton were
opposed to arbitration, but the other
three commissioners were in favor Of the
measure, hence the result.

of them said to THE GAZETTE representa-

any doubt of Mr.. Garland's going on the
supreme bench. l know he was offered
the Craftsmanship of the interstate COM
merce commission and refused it. He
said then that something would offer
itself IN the future which he would like
better, and he referred at that time to
some judicial position. He will be con-
firmed by the Senate. Senator Edmunds,
who will be the chairman of the judiciary
committee, is special friend of Mr..
Garland Their intimacy is of long
standing, and Mr.. Edmunds has a high
opinion of Mr.. Garland's legal abilities.
The other members of the committee are
personally friendly to Mr.. Garland and
would report his nomination favorably.

cure enough votes in the Senate to defeat
him.
